The plastics industry are grappling with the challenge of manufacturing sustainable products. Working in collaboration with the Reutlingen University from Germany, robomotion GmbH and KUKA, Gindele GmbH demonstrates how this can be achieved. In this case study, sustainable cutlery, which was initially developed for the Moulding Expo trade fair, is manufactured in an injection molding machine. A highly flexible robot cell with an integrated KUKA robot takes care of the laborious subsequent proces

A high degree of automation - supported by Industrie 4.0 elements: component machining at KUKA shows what a future-oriented production looks like. All the machines in production hall 10 on the KUKA site are connected to a cloud and have various Industrie 4.0 functions. "This is where intelligent automation and digitization come into their own," says Rainer Eder-Spendier, Administrator for Automation and Robotics. | KUKA
